The Senate has sworn in Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) as senator representing Kogi Central Senatorial District.
Natasha is now the first female Senator from Kogi State and the fourth female Senator in the 10th Upper Legislative Chamber.
Senate President Godswill Akpabio on Thursday directed the clerk of the senate to administer the oath to her on the floor of the Red.
This followed her presentation with the Certificate of Return by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) as the duly elected Senator for Kogi Central after the Court of Appeal had on Tuesday affirmed her as the winner of Kogi Central Senatorial District election held February, 2023.
Earlier, the election petition tribunal had on September 6, affirmed Natasha as the duly elected Senator as it nullified Ohere’s victory citing inflated polling results in favor of Ohere in some units and deliberate undercounting against Akpoti-Uduaghan.
